That won't work.  The client has no access to the internal registry of the
server, and it shouldn't!  The client never has access to the what's stored
in the server directly.  A client can only reconstruct a Principal based on
whatever the server decides to send to it. By default, the server only sends
the username (though if you use SAML 1.1 you'll also see the attributes
stored in the principal's map).  SAML 1.1 is only supported with the JASIG
CAS client.
